ABILENE, Texas - An Anson man is behind bars after Abilene police say he threatened another man with a gun in two different counties.

Police said a 69-year-old man was asleep early Monday morning at a rest area along Interstate 20 in Callahan County when Dennis Galli, 32, pointed a gun at him and told him to get out of his vehicle.

The victim says he took off and was chased by Galli to the Allsups convenience store at I-20 and West Lake Road in Abilene. He said Galli once again pointed a gun at him. Galli denied the allegations. Police then found a 9mm handgun in his truck.

Galli was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He is being held on a $100,000 bond.
